Just so pathetic. One after the other, Trump nominated people to the most important positions solely because they’re sycophantic cultists who refuse to even say he is wrong about something that impacts public health even when they know he is. This is a nightmare for America. bsky.app/profile/atru...

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Trump and Vance to Zelenskyy 18 months ago: You are losing this war. You have no cards. Meanwhile, while Ukraine is kicking a much larger country’s ass who invaded it, Trump and Vance are losing to Iran.

This is the Republican Party. Corrupt as hell, constantly starting wars, blowing up the deficit, giving tax cuts for billionaires, bailing out corporations, cutting health care, making everything more expensive, while serving up culture war drivel to distract you from all that.

Trump's performance tonight in North Carolina is a disgrace and the crowd isn't into it at all, but you could've said the same thing about innumerable rallies of his in 2024 and then 77 million Americans voted for him anyway. I hope we're smarter now!

So basically Trump’s new rap is that prices are high now and they are likely to get even higher between now and the midterms, but if you vote for them prices will immediately drop like magic after the election and everything will be pretty much free and we will live happily ever after.

I know I am not the median voter. But when I watch Trump performances like the one we just endured in North Carolina, I can't escape the feeling that our problems go much deeper than "affordability" and we're whistling past the graveyard if we reduce our politics to that issue.

The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

The new racist double standard set up by Alito in the TPS ruling: if there’s any other motive in addition to the racism, the racism doesn’t count, but if the state wants to *prevent* discrimination against black people, that is racist and unconstitutional www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
The Roberts Court has been turning anti-discrimination law upside down for years. Its approach came into particular focus in May, with Louisiana v. Callais, in which it determined that not allowing Louisiana’s government to dilute Black votes was racist. In that case, Alito insisted that forcing the state to draw a second majority-Black congressional district would be an “unconstitutional racial gerrymander” because Republicans were entitled to discriminate against Black voters if they argued that their purpose was partisan instead of racist. The Court reaffirmed that position in a subsequent case dealing with Alabama, after a lower court had found ample evidence of deliberate racial discrimination, as opposed to the discriminatory effect of the Louisiana map.

Mullin now sets up an even more impossible double standard. If the government wants to discriminate against Black people, any pretext will do. “As long as there is a plausible basis—any plausible articulable basis—for the government’s action, then the Court will look to that basis as sufficient,” Aderson Francois, a law professor at Georgetown University, told me, “even in the face of evidence that government actors were motivated by animus.” If a Black person wants to prove they’ve been discriminated against, however, no amount of evidence will suffice.
